Sure we do! We celebrate Independence Day - which was the ultimate act of terrorism against the British Crown.

What did Guy Fawkes ever do, compared to an entire colony occupying half a continent up and leaving, with the gall of smashing the British Army on the way out?

Fawkes blew up some gunpowder. Big deal.


Umm... they caught them before they did.

I watch V for Vendetta and Mr Robot.
Then I make s'mores.

We lived in England for a long period of time. Burning thd "Guy" always seemed ridiculous and set a bad example. Just have a bonfire- no need to burn a person to death and celebrate.
You like November? Get a fire pit and toast marshmallows.

We do. We are British though.

Why? It's like celebrating Thanksgiving in France. Why would we do that?

I haven't seen any celebrations. But I always tell my kids. And since they were born here, they roll their eyes. Sigh.

The celebration is over his inability to act on terrorism

I’m British and many years ago I went to a Friends bonfire party on the 5th when I lived in Northern VA. Not heard of anything recently though.

There are so many British traditions that I want to continue here but no one to share with.
Is Guy Fawkes celebrated here in DC, anywhere in the States?
